How to get into a coin's code ?

[sharnalk]

Hellow !

Well i have a simple question, is there some kind of documentation, of how to get into the code of a coin ?
Is the only way, to read all the code and figure it out ? then should i start from bitcoin code, or an other cryptocoin?

Well if you have other ideas about getting into the code, i'll listen

You can Bitcoin's code here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
Read through and look how it works.

before u get into the code, i'd suggest u to have a look at the whitepaper first. For Bitcoin it is at www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Coins have a source code link on their official website. You can dowload the whole code, or you can simply download a wallet.  The easiest, I think, would be a python based coin

I don"t think there is a python based coin.
It seems that almost every coin code are based on bitcoin (or fork from bitcoin), and imo, the bitcoin code is pretty dirty and hard to read

You are right, there doesn't seem to be a Python code. Most of the stuff is C/C++

Darkcoin is Java I believe.
